Partizani Tirana form and stats
6 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Partizani Tirana have to build on here at Stadiumi Selman Stërmasi in the Superliga. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Partizani with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Bylis Ballsh game, 112 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Three consecutive losses here at Stadiumi Selman Stërmasi is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
The Partizani fans got no joy from their last match, a Superliga game also here at Stadiumi Selman Stërmasi: A 1-3 defeat against Kukësi (placed 2nd). Preceding that match was a defeat to Skënderbeu Korçë (1-2).
Partizani Tirana are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 14 games. From these home matches, Partizani have conceded only 13 goals.
